The mission of Fairways for Freedom® is to help combat-injured U.S. veterans assimilate back into society through a series of holistic initiatives, as well as the game of golf. Playing golf in a peaceful and welcoming environment, such as Ireland and Scotland, and striving to improve at a physically and mentally challenging game, provides a positive experience and helps these combat-injured veterans overcome their injuries.
There is plenty of golf and golf instruction on our trips, as well as seminars with an emphasis on therapeutic sessions and mindful-resilience yoga. There are also physical activities to help our combat-injured veterans develop and refine a variety of skills, such as:
Interpersonal Skills:
- Healing within
- How to improve the ability to cope with frustration
- How to become aware of and deal with negative triggers
- How to use Mindful Resilience to achieve better golf scores
Interpersonal Skills:
